Default LT1 Spark Plug Wire Looms / Retainers

Do any of you guys have a good source for the plastic spark plug wire clips? I have found a few part numbers but not sure if they are correct. I believe part # 12132272 is the 4 wire clip, but not sure. I have the metal brackets that attach to the heads, but the plastic clips have broken (this is what I need). I know Eckler's and MAM sells a kit but I have heard they are not the correct clips and are junk. I am using the zip-tie trick right now which doesn't look bad.



However, I think the factory retainers still look the best. Unless someone else has come up with a better solution to hold 8mm wires?

I bought some Moroso looms from Summit. Fairly pleased with them.

The clips I bought from Ecklers were wrong. I then bought a used set from vette2vette. Looks and works fine.

I just bought some from Corvette Central for my '85 and they are identical to the AC Delco ones I used to get from the dealer. Think they've been discontinued from dealer now. Same dealer price from CC but quality is good.

l88rocket- I don't have 8.5mm wires. I have Taylor Spiro pro 8mm's. The picture in my OP is just to show what I am using for looms.

Thanks 94FLAvette
